Yeah, what a coincidence! But there are alternatives to paying the tax; various deductions have kept me under the threshold for 2 years now. Join a political party: (up to) $100 deduction; join a union: $440 deduction (for me); donate to Amnesty, the Brain Injury Foundation, CARE Australia, the OBL retirement fund, whatever. I suppose this only works if you earn somewhere near the threshold; not much future in donating $20 or $30 thou every year. Fortunately, there doesn't seem to be much prospect of me keeping a PHIC in the luxury to which its directors and shareholders are accustomed. Gary

----Previous stuff snipped--------------- When I had my CB200, the combination of greenslip and insurance was actually CHEAPER for full comprehensive (with 60% no claim bonus & so on) than 3rd Party property. Mind you, the market value was probably only about $500, which didn't give you much change out of the excess...
